For this troper's university (and all other universities in the same system):
"furlough day."
#7921
bookworm389 - Why do you read? A questions with different meanings and answers as I grow up.
#7922
Tropers/KrazehPenguin likes invoking this trope, especially with the words 'Red Penguin' and 'Confused Cockroach.'
#7923
This troper's is, for any time I want to have a funny answer, "I'm {{Batman}}!". Why didn't I put the dogs out? Because "I'm Batman!".
#7924
I think that would be GagWords, or a CatchPhrase.
#7925
This troper's Arc...sentence? would be "How many books have you read?", asked by a number of annoyingly curious people.
#7926
I'd ask if you were me, but I ''know'' I never wrote that entry. (The answer is, or was, always "I have no idea. I average [recent typical number of books per week] per week, though.")
#7928
I have had that happen to me way too often. It's rather annoying though, and I have no idea how many I've read. I havent been reading much this year though, so noone has asked so far.
#7929
Things like this make me certain I've discovered TVTropes previously sometime before. I was gonna say something else here as well. I forgot it though. Hate doing that.
#7931
superslinger2007 and "March
17", which in his case is not lucky.
#7932
Nearly every converstaion between kknd2 and Crazael over Instant Messanging begins with "I Had a thought..." responded to by Crazaels' "I hope it didn't hurt." to the point it could form a
Shibboleth between us.
#7933
This troper's works thus far have had "Let me teach you a lesson" which is normally followed by ass-kicking or exposition, and "One Spark can burn the world" (surprisingly the Hero's Mantra... ItMakesSenseInContext).
#7934
If you see any mention of "I'm watching animal porn!" and a link back to ''WhoseLineIsItAnyway'', they're all made by the same anonymous troper.
#7935
"Veuillez-vous rendre à votre classe PAAQ à la cloche." which means "Please go to your PAAQ class at the bell" (PAAQ is kind of like homeroom. This is because in This troper's school they only ever call you to PAAQ class on the intercom like that when someone from the school has died. Which has happened five times this year.
#7936
A couple I have used in my games:
#7937
"You will pass judgement on the Last Man." - referring to the hero being an UnwittingPawn being tricked into killing his rival so that the rival can be bought back to life and no longer fearing death, thus killing the "Last Man" within him, so that he can become an Ubermensch.
#7938
"Yue Lepretto" - the name of a major antagonist, used cryptically until revealed that it is a person.
#7939
The number 17 came up extraordinarily frequently in this troper's life up until college.
#7940
Isn't it an ArcNumber though?
#7941
My novel series are going to use sets for each. The first, a fantasy series, will use "Ascension is upon us", "Heaven and hell collide", and "The seal has broken". The second, Science Fiction, will use "Its not in the cards", "The dead don't ___(lie, tell tales, etc.) with the final being "The dead don't sleep for long".
#7942
To be technical these series ideas are in the same universe at different times: The fantasy is in 2010, the science fiction is forty years after, and a third in between, probably 2015. Its are "EDEN", a brand name seen everywhere, and for a short time Exploding Head Syndrome
:Which is NOT a disease where peoples heads blow up.(mostly in the book titled that).
#7943
This troper is currently running a
RPG where the NPC ally is only one part of the Arc numbers theme. It has shown up in elevator directions twice, range finders, and most especially that NPC's dialogue. "9-17-9" The NPC Pilots
Nine Ball and is named
Nemo Nu Dreizehn If your a member of that campagin and reading this.
[[MeaningfulName Nemo Mu Zwolft wishes to speak with you about
Gabriel.]]
#7944
IRL, "No problem!" I say it ALL. THE. TIME. It's become a reflex!
#7945
CatchPhrase, not Arc Words.
#7946
Under certain circumstances, a CatchPhrase can become ArcWords.
#7947
Remolay- "Huevos" I swear that word is following me. "Huevos." What about eggs?
#7948
The current chapter in this troper's life seems to be built around the arc words "Everything happens for a reason," often brought up in conversation with one of this troper's close friends, usually with regards to things with no apparent desirable effect.
#7949
"no one should have to feel lonely. like they are alone, shifting through the frigid darkness".... yeah, i'm a drama king.
#7950
This troper sometimes feels like her school is a tv show and the question "Where do you go to school?" and "What do you do there?" (it's an arts school) are arc words.
#7951
"It's just a phase."
#7952
"My own worst enemy". The song by Lit didn't make sense at the time, but damn, I truly do
tell myself I suck much worse than anyone else ever could.
#7953
''Frostsabre.'' At this troper's school: "(person} gets defenestrated." Time to throw that word out the window.
#7954
I have my own. First, it's "I don't give a damn." I can't get the last lines of the Star-Spangled Banner off me when I'm flying; don't ask me why. In Spanish, it's "gatito grande rojo," and by association, just "gatito."
#7956
"You she try to be more like others."
#7957
#QUOTE#'''Mom''': What do you think?
#7958
#QUOTE#'''Me''': I don't know.
#7959
Whenever this troper is irritated about some social/political issue of the day, he posts his thoughts to Facebook, usually starting with "(America) Fun Fact:" or "a brief lesson in (whatever):"
#7960
Equilibrium. It kept appearing in almost all our subjects in fourth year high-school, and even outside of class. And for me... ''Magayus-ayos ka na'' (Fix yourself up) or ''Magbagong-buhay ka na'' (Turn over a new leaf).
#7961
In an Homestuck themed RPG I'm in, I'm trying to make the phrase "it was YOU ALL ALONG" into this.
#7963
This troper's mother used to jokingly call her "the little pathologist" because of how she would meticulously remove every last bit of onion from her plate before eating as a child. Guess what this troper is studying to become now?
#7964
"Stubbornness is in our blood" for This Troper. It seemed to be a testament to my family's stubbornness but it began to take on more meaning as my life went on.
